What are the Safety Do’s and Don’ts for Students?

 Always use a spatula or scoopula to remove a solid reagent from a container.

 Do not directly touch any chemical with your hands.
 Never use a metal spatula when working with peroxides. Metals will decompose
explosively with peroxides.
 Hold containers away from the body when transferring a chemical or solution
from one container to another.
 Use a hot water bath to heat flammable liquids. Never heat directly with a flame.
 Add concentrated acid to water slowly. Never add water to a concentrated acid.
 Weigh out or remove only the amount of chemical you will need.
 Do not return the excess to its original container, but properly dispose of it in the
appropriate waste container.
 Never touch, taste, or smell any reagents.
 Never place the container directly under your nose and inhale the vapors.
 Never mix or use chemicals not called for in the laboratory exercise.
 Use the laboratory chemical hood, if available, when there is a possibility of
release of toxic chemical vapors, dust, or gases. When using a hood, the sash
opening should be kept at a minimum to protect the user and to ensure efficient
operation of the hood. Keep your head and body outside of the hood face.
 Chemicals and equipment should be placed at least six inches within the hood to
ensure proper air flow.
 Clean up all spills properly and promptly as instructed by the teacher.
 Dispose of chemicals as instructed by the teacher.
 When transporting chemicals (especially 250 mL or more), place the immediate
container in a secondary container or bucket (rubber, metal or plastic) designed to
be carried and large enough to hold the entire contents of the chemical.
 Never handle bottles that are wet or too heavy for you.
 Use equipment (glassware, Bunsen burner, etc.) in the correct way, as indicated
by the teacher.
